Malfunctioning horn???
This past weekend it was absolutely beautiful and I had the top down and doors off, however that night I was at a party and failed to put them back on and of course it rained...now my horn nolonger "honks" and today on my way back from lunch it started randomly goin off (I literally gave a poor old man a heartattack)...I had to punch the steering wheel to make it stop...
Any suggestions to what is wrong??? Just the water and it needs to dry out??? Please help!!!!!!!!

Yeah. It got wet. Look in FRONT of the wheel and you'll see 3 holes around the horn button. You can fit a standard screwdriver in each one, turn it 90 degrees and unlock the horn button. Now, before you do this, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY and wait for about three minutes. The air bag is in the horn button and you don't want it going off. Once you take it off, you can unplug it and set it aside.....GENTLY. Then get a hair dryer and dry off the horn contacts on the wheel. Plug the horn button back in, pop it on and you're done.

Horn replaced
I have had to have my horn replaced already and need to have it replaced again, Every time i play in the mud or watter my horn dies and if you go to honk it or go to set the alarm, it sound like a dieing cat coughing into a kazoo. Any suggestions on how to protect the horn from dieing again, yes i know the horn is usless but its nice to have in traffic so people know when they are getting the finger, plus its so annoying to have something that doesnt work right

My horn got mud or got wet months ago. Just yesterday I was holding down my horn joking with my friend and it coughed up something and started working like normal again. Guess it just had a hairball to get rid of
